CSX2299 1964 Cobra Daytona Coupe

By the end of the 1963 season Shelby American realized the need for a more aerodynamic version of the 289 Cobra roadster to keep up with the sleek Ferrari 250 GTO. Pete Brock was busy designing this new coupe body and assuring everyone at Shelby American this was the best design. Pete was in fact very correct as the end result was the first and only American built FIA GT World Champion. CSX 2299 was the second coupe built and also has the best race history of the six coupes built. It competed in a total of ten FIA events in 1964 & 1965.
